Welcome to a kingdom of mushroom art and foraged facts. Where most people might see dinner, visual artist Bill Wurtzel sees people, animals, and more. Within these pages, he puts the fun in fungi with his whimsical and inspired creations, beautifully posed and photographed. Accompanied by text revealing the world of mushrooms, white button, portabella, maitake, and king trumpets are transformed into people dancing, riding hot air balloons, tight-rope walking, exercising, and so much more. All sorts of members of the animal kingdom are recreated in this charming style, including cats, dogs, elephants, owls, and chickens. Both amateur mycologists and expert foragers will see mushrooms in a new light as their shapes and textures capture joyous experiences and emotions, proving just one more way mushrooms can be beneficial to all of us. Pull up a toadstool and take in the magical sights!
